Driving your vehicle
MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
Manual transaxle operation
The manual  transaxle has  5 (or  6*) for-
ward gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift
knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized
in all forward gears so shifting to either a
higher or  a lower  gear is  easily accom-
plished.
Press the  clutch  pedal down  fully while
shifting, then release it slowly.
6 speed
CAUTION
When   downshifting    from   fifth
gear    to   fourth    gear,   caution
should  be  taken not  to  inadver-
tently  press  the  gear shift  lever
sideways  in such  a  manner that
second gear  is  engaged. Such  a
drastic downshift  may cause  the
engine  speed to  increase  to  the
point   that  the   tachometer   will
enter  the   red-zone.  Such   over-
revving of  the engine may  possi-
bly cause engine damage.
Do  not   downshift  more  than   2
gears or downshift the gear when
the   engine  is   running   at  high
speed   (5,000   RPM   or  higher).
Such a downshifting may damage
the engine.
If your  vehicle is  equipped with  an igni-
tion lock switch,  the engine will  not start
when
starting
the
engine
without

while moving the shift lever to the R posi-
tion. (if equipped)
Make  sure   the   vehicle  is   completely
stopped before shifting into R (Reverse).
